Please offer your opinions on these potential wheels
Well, I'm in the process of selecting some wheels for the sedan (tough job).

I really like Discount Tire Direct (.com) - great selection, FREE shipping, rebates, ect.

Here are two that I really like (in two different finishes each). My car is Flint Mica which means the gunmetal matches the paint perfectly which I'm leaning towards. But I will certainly consider the silver finishes. Both happen to be by Drag and are $110/ea for 17's.

Vote!

1,2,3, or 4?

Thanks for the input!

I looked through those, and none of them compare to the ones above IMO.

Any reason for your suggestion? Any specific ones you recommend?

I'd also like to note that I don't really want to go higher than about $110 a wheel. So please don't suggest $250 rims! Thanks.

I know, I just wanted to clarify early because that's what usually happens.

out of the four....number 3.

gunmetal looks great on anything....it's the new chrome, and it's 20% lighter. 'tripple dipped' chrome wheels adds weight due to copper, nickel and then chrome dipping. my friends 17" wheels weigh more than 6lbs each over my painted wheels on our camaro's. i'd rather have painted any day...too much polishing and finishing on chrome...

any way, silver looks good too, but you'll have to finish everything in silver....door handles, knobs, accessories and whatever else you want in silver.

Mazda site, not for me. I have a Yaris.

I think we just have a very different taste in wheels. I'm drooling over the ones I posted, while gold wheels, for example, make me puke.

sorry, very long day, i don't recommend 17's on a poor underpowered yaris but... i understand your view. i've enjoyed 17's on my econobox in the past too.

btw goodwinracing.com does offer some larger wheels too. :) and if you want the wheel to look good on your car you should be worried about width AND diameter. the width will give the car a little charisma

One MB mesh wheel they have that I really like is this one but is available in 16", but not 17" for some reason. If I go 16", this is a strong possibility too. I also like that it doesn't have the busy looking rivets.
It's only $90 too.

Let me know guys if you'd go with this one over the other 4.

Thanks.

I like it very much, but what are the 16" specs?

16X7 / 38 offset

I really love this wheel but I need to be talked into 16's instead of 17"s.
What do guys think?

Best option IMO, 16 FTW on the Yaris.... you get a larger size to fill the wheel wells nicely with plenty of options for rubber... I would go 205/50R16's

I like 205/50's as well, but with ET38, 195/50's work best.
